Onboarding. It’s a very essential step in the life cycle of an employee’s “career” with your company, and often times, not enough resources go into making it a comprehensive and positive experience.
It ranges from getting your new hire set up with the tools and processes they need to get started with their role, to getting bonded with your team straight away.
It sets the precedence for the experience that the new hire is going to have with your company, and may also play a part in determining how long they’ll stick around.
After all, first impressions count for a lot right?
And when it comes to hiring and recruitment, employer branding becomes even more essential. Which is why we’ve teamed up with employee recognition tool, Bonusly, to co-create an ebook on the very topic.
With this comprehensive guide, you’ll learn the importance of employer branding and how you can craft one with staying power – an employer brand that’ll be able to attract and keep top talent.

Employee Handbook
There’s a lot to take in when starting a new job, but a big part of the process of getting acquainted with your new company is to understand the culture. What better way to do that than through an employee handbook?
There are a handful of routes you can go when creating a handbook of your own – but we really like Facebook’s inspirational approach, as well as 22Squared’s day-by-day onboarding route.

Company Values
Company values. The set of slogans that you’ve defined early in the game, which give deep insight into your brand essence and what drives your company vision and mission. Getting your new hires acquainted and resonating with your company values during the onboarding process is important – so why not do it in infographic form?

Company Introduction
Your company’s founding story, milestones throughout the years, mission and vision, user base, and competitors – these are all key elements that make up your business. So during the onboarding process, which is just like an in-depth introduction to your company – it might work best to outline all of these elements in a visual. We really like this example from Credilogic.
